Polyester

Polyester Surgical Sutures are non-absorbable, braided multifilament threads widely used for soft tissue approximation where long-term tensile strength is required. Identified by their characteristic green color, these sutures offer excellent knot security, minimal tissue reactivity, and consistent handling characteristics favored by surgeons across general, cardiovascular, and orthopedic procedures. Available in USP sizes including USP 2 and finer gauges with various needle configurations. Polyester sutures remain a standard choice for permanent wound closure, vessel ligation, and prosthetic fixation in hospital and ambulatory surgical settings worldwide.
